Aristocracy?

My "name of note" is Francis Drake

starting the Francis Drake Waldron Wheaton bn 1795 i have 6 generations of Francis Drake Wheatons - the most recent traced born in the 1930's. (i do not know if he passed the name onto further genrations
The first 3 generations include Waldron/Walrondas a third christian name, later generations have a different 3rd name

So far, although a Sarah Drake had married into the family some 70 yrs before the birth of the first FDWW, no actual connection to THE Sir Francis Drake has been traced

Hi
researching Moore family as Fanny Gill Hardstaff married John James Moore and lived on Victoria Road, Selston near my mother, her niece. John J Moore's parents were William B 1840 and Celestina B 1842 Blackwell. They lived on Portland Row, Kirkby which was a row of 45 houses built by Butterley Company for miners in 1823. They had 8 children, the youngest being Thomas Savile Foljambe Moore B 1880 Kirkby. Thomas, like father and brothers went on to be a miner. He married Martha and in the 1911 Census had 3 children, Fanny 6, Phoebe 3 and Joseph 10 mths. They were living in Bleak Hall, Kirkby.
Like you, my interest arose because of the names given. There has to be some significance.
Let me know if you find out any more.
